General Information
| Biological Significance | Influenza virus is an enveloped, single stranded RNA virus with a segmented genome. Virions are spherical to pleomorphic or filamentous, 80-120 nm diameter and 200-300 nm long. Surface features are distinctive spikes primarily of the hemagglutinin interposed irregularly with clusters of the neuraminidase protein. Strains of influenza A are by convention described by geographic origin, strain number, year of isolation and hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) sub-types. |
|---|---|
| Implications in Disease | Influenza A (H1N1) virus is the subtype of influenza A virus that was the most common cause of the pandemic human influenza in 2009, referred to as 'swine flu' by the public media. This novel virus spread worldwide and had caused about 17,000 deaths by the start of 2010. |
